CommentsAn excellent collection of Off-line recordings. Most never released before. The listener can get an idea of how some songs sound like with track seperation. A "monitor mix" is an Off-line recording taped from studio monitors during the preliminary mixing of a song. And in this case additional research for the Abbey Road Video Show in an EMI controlroom back in 1983.

Again, not very much on this disc that we haven't heard.I'm pretty sure all of the "Think For Yourself" dialoghas appeared elsewhere. The first appearance (I stand corrected) of Take 1 of "Can't Buy Me Love" is certinlyone of the highlights of this collection. Another gemon this disc is the "Lady Madonna" sequence. Thoughthere have been many versions of "Lady Madonna", themix has always been the same. It's a real treat tohear the vocal seperations.

These 4 Discs I'm afraid did not live up to the hype prior to their appearance in trading circles recently. I was so disappointed after the final CD finished. Yes, there are some fantastic 'new' tracks (such as the rude version of 'Sexy Sadie and some of the between song chatter) but there are far too many tracks here which are easily available elsewhere and in much better quality.

It is most certainly NOT worth buying. Get someone to do 1CD 'best of' for you.

I like it - very 'live' atmosphere.You feel like sitting beside Barrett and listening to all this exciting stuff!Of course we know most of these mixes but there are true gems and the collection is fun to listen to.Sound quality is the only reason this doesn't get 10 stars.This 4 CD box set has been re-released as a 3 CD-set by 'Scorpio' (NoScorpio (UK)-04)
